They are exclusive. PC doesnt count. Besides, using your logic LBP shouldnt be on the list either


Look at 360 list, looks at PC.

 

Looks at arcade games and Indy titles, looks at PC.

 

LOLZ @ PC doesn't count. Any excuse to suit an argument. Just like how mobile phones don't count, amiright?


*facepalm*

The console war is between PS3, Wii and X360. PC is a completely different thing. It's like comparing peas, broccoli and lettuce to a drum kit


PS3 = Peas
Wii = Broccoli
Xbox360 = Lettuce
PC = Cabbage

PS3 = peas

X360 = broccoli

Wii = lettuce

PC = pineapple


Nope. My example is better and far fitting due to the fact that the Xbox360 has alot of PC games that arent available on the PS3. Minecraft and Left 4 Dead 2 being prime examples.

People get Lettuce and Cabbage confused since they seem similar but are actually different.

Not to weigh into the stupidity of this, but who gets lettuce and cabbage confused?  They don't even look the same. 

Lettuce is extremely leafy (flower-like) with a consistent color.  Cabbage is a ball nested in a few leaves, with the unfolded leafs being dark green or purple and the ball being a lighter shade of green or purple.  They don't feel the same.  They don't smell the same.  They certainly don't look the same.

The only time they sort of look the same is at the grocery store where a lettuce head is balled up.  But walk into a field of lettuce and they look like green flowers growing out of the ground.  In fact, lettuce is of the same family as the sunflower where as cabbage is of the same family as kale, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts.

By your definition, the Wii and the PC are more similar than the Xbox 360 and the PC.

Wrong again. See post above.


Okay. But PC still doesn't count when talking about console exclusives

Uhm...then rename the thread and rewrite the goddamn op because nowhere does it say you're only talking about "console exclusives".


Happy now?

Why should the OP be rewritten? The post ONLY lists PS3 and Xbox 360. It's blatantly obvious it's about comparing games between PS3 and Xbox 360. You don't have to use "console exclusive" when it's so clear that the topic is exclusives mutually exclusive to PS3 and Xbox 360, nothing more nothing less. A game on Xbox 360 is not less valid because it is on Windows when it is NOT on PS3 or Wii. If you can play a game on PS3, but not Xbox 360, or vice versa, then it is exclusively available to that user base.

It's not that PC games don't count, it's that they don't affect the rivalry between PS3 and Xbox 360. If you want to play Left 4 Dead on a console you only have one choice. In the very clearly illustrated OP you can tell with just a glance that it's talking about PS3 and Xbox 360 games that are unavailable to the other.

You can't play them on PS3 or Wii so it's exclusive. Should LittleBigPlanet get dumped because it's also on PSP? No because you can't play it on Xbox 360 or Wii.

The console "war" is between the consoles, the PC is over in PC land all by itself.

LittleBigPlanet PSP is not the same game as the PS3 game. This is about exclusives, not some imaginary war between consoles.

i love how some ignore the LBP argument, now they have no counter argument.

- Prediction: Last of Us, PABR and Ascension, will be on this list at the end of 2013


You think the PS3 version of PS All Stars will sell 4m copies by the end of 2013? That's seems very unlikely


I am telling you right now, after 2 holiday seasons, a new cheap model (meaning casual gamer aboard, even if it only lauches next year), I am telling you, it will sell more then 4M copies by the end of 2013 (without saying that it needs to be an excelent game, don´t ever underestimate the power of the casual, specially when talking about a fan service type game like PABR will be)


I don't think it will...I'd say 3m lifetime sales max. Besides, according to many people in this thread it shouldn't even be allowed on the list given that it's not a PS3 exclusive

There is no argument...re-read the OP, I've made it easy to understand that by exclusive I mean games that are not available on the opposing HD console

Naw, you didnt make it clear at all. Now you've made it clear by saying you meant "console exclusive" (stupid term, but thats a discussion for another day) and you were the one that brought up LBP, which shows that you were clearly ignorant and have never played either both of those games or neither. It was a wrong thing to say period. But now that you have been educated, time to move on.

Wrong. Kain kusanagi is the one who origionally brought that up, I just reiterated what he said as I assumed that becuase it had the same title that it was the same game... Besides, it doesn't even matter, because this thread is about the sales of ps3 and Xbox 360 exclusives, not whether or not LBP is the same game on ps3 and PSP
